Doctor Who: Podshock - Episode 155

Review of the first Patrick Troughton story, Power of the Daleks, news, Mike Doran joins us for a Who Party 14 Toronto Report, and feedback including a review of Prisoner of the Daleks by Dave (Skaroth), and feedback (Jordan, Steve Lee, Samantha (Romana II), and Companion2B (Sarah)).

Thank you David. I believe the Davros box set R1 release date has been postponed without a new one being set. So, we haven't received the Remembrance of the Daleks Special Edition DVD in North America yet.

Wow. You listened to this episode so quickly that you caught your mention before I had a chance to tweet you about it.

It turns out that I was mistaken with the Torchwood: Children of Earth website. The desktop images are not being blocked outside the UK. When I first saw the thumbnails on the webpage which "Access Denied" labeled across them, I simply thought they were UK exclusives without reading the captions below. As it turns out, they are restricting access to those galleries until each episode is transmitted.

I have been listening to your podcast for 2 years now and find the new website wonderful. Thanks for all of your time and effort to give us the scoop on all things Whovian.

I enjoyed your review of Power of the Daleks - it has spurred me to seek out the audio version and sit back and let my imagination fill in all the gaps between the telesnaps.

I also enjoyed your discussion about Jamie as one of Dr. Who's best companions. Fraser Hines never seems to put in a bad performance and his both innocence to all things technological coupled with a rough and tumble attitude make him a very fun companion to watch. I especially thought it was fun while watching the Kroton's in the scene where Jamie was aiding the resident scientist in making acid - it had the makings of a Monty Python or Saturday Night Live Sketch. Furthermore, when Fraser returned to the program in 'The Two Doctors' his energy for the show hadn't skipped a beat and hope that if indeed he is invited to return to the current Dr. Who - he would put in an equally impressive performance. You mentioned how popular Jamie is vs. the other companions....please check out the current Hurt/Heal: The Companions string that several of us are voting each day on who our favorite and least favorite companions are. You can find it in the General section of the Forums.
